regardless of skill level – irst time, every time. If you

are interested in joinery for your next project, you

need not look further than your new LS Positioner for

you are cutting a simple equally spaced box joint,

or the exquisite INCRA Double Dovetail, you’ll ind

the simplicity of our template guided joinery system

makes other joint making tools obsolete.

GETTING ACQUAINTED

Before setting up and using your new INCRA LS Positioner, take a few moments to become better acquainted

with the tool by reviewing the following component descriptions and the illustration in Fig. 1 .

 Lead Screw Positioning Element

The LS Positioner obtains its great accuracy and

repeatability from the precision lead screw, which

positions the fence in exact increments of 1 / 32 ”

 Auxiliary Scale Slots

Four auxiliary scale slots are provided to allow

additional setups and cutting operations to take place

without altering the primary scale position. Simply

slide the supplied 1 / 32 ” “loating” scale into position

as needed for reference. The friction it holds the

scales securely during cutting operations. These

extra slots are great for advanced joinery using the

INCRA templates. You can even leave your most

frequently used joinery templates from the optional

INCRA Master Reference Guide & Template Library

permanently installed.

 Three-Position Carriage Clamp

By pushing the carriage clamp down into the

“unlocked” position, the carriage is free to glide to the

next setting. Pull the clamp up to the center position

for micro adjusting. Pull the clamp up to the inal

position and the carriage is locked solidly in place.

 Hairline Cursor and View Windows

The large hairline cursor and view windows provide

a clear visual reference of the fence location and

span the width of the carriage top and all ive scale

slots. The factory placement of the cursor can be

moved to the rear view window location for use on

smaller router tables.

 LS Base

The LS Base contains the threaded segment that

engages with and functions to locate the

carriage. It also houses the three-position carriage

clamp, the hairline cursor, and view windows.

 Carriage

The reinforced square tube design of the carriage

provides the ultimate in strength and support for your

fence. It supports the lead screw positioning element

and the micro adjust knob.

 Stainless Steel Primary Scale

After setting up your INCRA LS Positioner and

“zeroing” to the bit or blade, position this scale to

read 0” under the hairline cursor. Use this scale as

the primary source for readout of fence to bit or blade

distance.

 Fence Mounting Bracket

This heavy steel bracket provides a quick and easy

means to attach the Pro II Fence, the Wonder Fence,

or the TS table saw fence.

 Micro Adjust Knob

With the carriage clamp in the micro adjust position,

use this knob to ine-tune the location of your fence

in 1 / 1000 ” increments. Ball bearing engaged detents

on the knob provide an audible click for each

1 / 1000 ” of adjustment. The pointer and easy to read

scale give a clear readout of your fence movement.

Turning the knob clockwise moves the fence closer

to the cutter. Turn it counterclockwise and the fence

moves away from the cutter. Each full turn of the

knob moves the fence 1 / 32 ”

 Micro Adjust Scale Dial

This laser engraved dial provides a clear reference

for micro adjustments. Each mark on the dial

represents 1 / 1000 ”. After micro adjusting, the dial can

be re-zeroed to the pointer for future adjustments.

SETUP - MOUNTING TO YOUR ROUTER TABLE

Note: If you are setting up a table saw-based LS,

read the Getting Acquainted and Operations section

of this manual, then follow the instructions in the

TS-LS ownerʼs manual.

Drill Mounting Holes

Unlock the carriage clamp and carefully remove

the carriage from the LS base. For maximum access

to fence system range, locate the leading edge of

the LS base the following distance from the center

of your router collet: 194” for the 17” range model

or 274” for the 25” range model, Fig. 2. Center the

LS Base across the width of your table. If you have a

router table top that is not long enough to handle the

full range of your LS Positioner , see the Tip on page

6 for an easy way to extend your table dimensions.

Note: While it is permissible to allow some of the

LS Base to overhang the table, a minimum of 4” of

the LS Base must be overlapped onto the table for

secure mounting.
